Fallout 3 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

From the get go, Fallout 3 is about as in-depth as one can get. Your character creation can easily take up half an hour of your time. From there, you work your way through childhood and eventually leave the vault and begin exploration of a post-apocalyptic Washington D.C.

The main quest is interesting enough, but there are enough side quests to push the time required to finish this game well over 50 hours. As you level up, you are allotted skill points and perks. Skill points allow you to improve your computer hacking, lock picking, barter, and small guns skills, just to name a few. Perks are added bonuses offered based on level and pre-determined requisites. They really help!

Each piece of armor found and gun seen changes the appearance of your character. There are a lot of different types of both weapons and armor. In fact, you can build your own weapons based upon schematics found/bought within the world. Things like the Rock-It launcher really add a new twist on the weapon based FPS... it allows you to put ANYTHING in it as ammo, be it teddy bears, limbs, or glass bottles. Very, very awesome.

Graphically, the game looks beautiful. As mentioned by others, there are a few hiccups, but if you enjoyed Oblivion, you'll be fine. Audio wise, it is really unique. A mix of 30's and 40's tracks ("Ink Spots" in the trailer), orchestrated audio, and plain old silence really add to the unique feel this game puts out.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for an RPG in the vein of Oblivion, Mass Effect, and KOTOR. It's a great game and really allows you to play to your creative beat. Fallout may not be the most perfect title ever released, but I'll be playing it non-stop for the next few months. It's that good.
